The Components 1 season reaches its twenty first spherical with the São Paulo GP, successor to the Brazilian GP, which has seen 47 editions. After two years missed as a consequence of Covid-19, the GP took on the identify of Brazil’s most populous metropolis, additionally residence to the monitor, aiming to market it worldwide. In keeping with its mayor, the GP brings São Paulo over 240 million euros in further income every year.
GP DataAccording to Brembo technicians, the 4.309-kilometer Autódromo José Carlos Tempo falls below the class of reasonably demanding circuits for brakes. On a scale from 1 to five, it has a problem ranking of three as a consequence of its comparatively brief straights and solely 5 braking zones per lap, totaling simply over 10.5 seconds. Two of those braking occasions require lower than 2 seconds of brake utilization, whereas two others contain deceleration beneath 3.8 g.
Two Varieties of Brake DiscsThis yr, Components 1 groups are utilizing two sorts of Brembo carbon discs: “huge spline” and “single sided spline.” Within the “huge spline” model, the service thickness—the half involved with the bell—is the same as the disc thickness, whereas within the “single sided spline” model, the service thickness is lower than the disc thickness.
This second possibility permits a unique air flow technique for the disc and improved wheel nook packaging, although it compromises mechanical stress resistance on the carbon, limiting potential perforation for air flow. The selection between the 2 variations will depend on every automobile’s particular design and monitor traits.
The Hardest TurnThe most difficult flip for the braking system on the Autódromo José Carlos Tempo is the primary nook. Vehicles enter at 337 km/h and decelerate to 124 km/h in 2.41 seconds, overlaying 130 meters. Drivers face a load of 4.6 g, making use of 139 kg of pressure on the brake pedal. The braking energy reaches 2,486 kW.
Quantity 1Brembo made its Components 1 debut in 1975, offering cast-iron discs to Scuderia Ferrari, which received the Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles that yr after an 11-year drought. The 1976 championship opened the fourth weekend of January with the Brazilian GP. As defending champion, Niki Lauda displayed the primary on his Ferrari 312T and honored it with an 18-second victory at Interlagos after taking the lead on lap 9.
Magic’s CarThe São Paulo GP pays tribute to Ayrton Senna, who handed away 30 years in the past, with a sequence of homages. In collaboration with Honda, McLaren will showcase the MP4/5B, outfitted with Brembo calipers, with which the Brazilian received the 1990 World Championship. The automobile will do a lap of the monitor, although it’s not but recognized who can have the privilege of driving it. Senna personally advocated for Brembo brakes with the English workforce, having examined them efficiently with Lotus.
